You guys all heard about the fight at the Lansdowne Pub, someone threw a glass mug resulting in a death due to a shard of glass to the victim's neck.

In reaction to the incident, the Lansdowne Pub has voluntarily switched to plastic cups and nonglass bottles, but the city of Boston could take it a step further by banning glass mugs from ALL bars in the Boston area.

Board to consider banning glass mugs at all Boston bars

The Boston Licensing Board next month will consider requiring bars to stop serving alcohol in glass mugs following the weekend death of a man at a Lansdowne Street bar in a freak incident involving a shard of glass from a shattered cup thrown at somebody else.

The board has already barred glass containers at two Roxbury bars with repeat violence problems - Packy Connors and the Breezeway. Licensing Board Chairman Michael Connolly said today it may make sense to have a citywide policy rather than continuing to consider the issue one bar at a time.

Maybe there could be a waiting period before buying glass.

Yeah but even with a waiting period if someone wants to kill with a glass they'll just pick up one on the black market
 
Reactionary legislation FTL.

Massachusetts came within a couple of votes of a law requiring helmets while sledding. MFing SLEDDING!

All because a grandmother went around screaming and sobbing about her kid hitting a tree and going into a coma.

Sad story, but...:shrug: don't kids look retarded enough riding bikes now? We don't need to subject them to it while sledding as well. But the relevant manufacturers would JIMP if that happened because they could produce and sell helmets with built in winter hats.

So much money and materials (not to mention individual choice and liberties) are wasted in the name of making us a smidge safer. And so many of the laws are suggested and pushed through by the manufacturers who stand to benefit.

Try this on for size if you want to get pissed: the driving forces behind the DHS rule about 3oz of liquids? Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, and Unilever made donations to legislators and provided the justifications behind it, who "suggested" it to the DHS folks who were writing the procedures. After all, the profit margin on the little travel sized products is way higher than on the larger sizes, not to mention all the product that gets thrown away and must be repurchased.

Also, people who live in stone houses shouldn't throw glass.

Speaking of "stone" and "glass" - doesn't Sharon Stone supposedly have a glass eye? Rob Schneider too.

Are you folks really advocating to BAN both Sharon Stone and Rob Schneider from Boston?

Hmmm...

On second though - maybe this is not such a bad idea.
 
If we stuck with prohibition, none of this evah would have happened...
